90210 is on E4 every Monday

it started tonight with a double episode, not sure what i think of it yet ill give it a try, i didnt see BH 90210 the first time around i was a little young so im not sure if its similar or not

I watched a bit of it

It seemed a bit of the old typical high school american drama to me

Didn't Paul Johansson used to be in that :confused:

Its like an american/posh version of skins and a cheap version of gossip girl.
Liked it - giving it a chance.

yeah me too, also liked how they brought in a couple of the old characters but it was weird seeing shannen playing anyone other than prue from charmed

Watched it on 4oD last night, I love it! Seems a bit like the other programs like The OC, not same like exactly the same but I mean like a typical american thing if you get me. But defo will be watching again D: Is it mondays and then repeated on Weds? Cos it's on tonight as well.

is it? i have seent he trailers saying if you missed the first episode see it again on sunday

I wonder if that woman (cant remember her name) really did have the baby years ago, or if its just a way of trying to hold onto the past,if you know what i mean. look at her daughter shes not the nicest either it could all be one lie

Yeah, i'm on Sky and if you go to 9 oclock tonight on E4 it says 90210 and the information is :

Brand New Series - We're not in Kansas anymore: A Kansas family relocates.... blah blah.

I dunno maybe its just repeated for some random reason lol

Everything's being revived these days. In the last few years we've seen Doctor Who and Survivors stage successful comebacks - not to mention the (sadly, short-lived) return of Dale Winton's Supermarket Sweep in 2007 - and soon we can add Day of The Triffids to that list, too. Next up is 90210, a fresh take on the iconic '90s teen drama Beverly Hills, 90210. We speak to Ryan Eggold, who plays West Beverly High's cool young English teacher, to find out more.

In your words, what is 90210?
"It's hard to say what it is. People call it a remake, or a spinoff - I don't know what the heck it is! We take the premise from the original show, which is this family moving from the Midwest to Beverly Hills and then being lost in a new world. The basics are all there, and then we add a lot of new storylines, characters and things like that."

Does it reference the old show much?
"It does, yeah. We have Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty return as their characters from the original, so that brings a lot of the original show with it. We play on a lot of similar themes, character dynamics and relationships as the original. And yes, there are references to old characters and storylines."

Did you watch the original show?
"Not much, I was watching Saved By The Bell instead! I remember seeing it on from time to time - it was such a massive show - but it was too mature for me when I was watching it. I was 6 in 1990, so it didn't really appeal to me then."

You play Mr. Matthews, the English teacher at the school. What's he like?
"He doesn't act the way a teacher should. He's much more fun-spirited and he doesn't really care about the rules so much. He's ruled by the kids a little bit and less in control of their actions. He's often a jerk, but beneath that he has a good heart and really wants to help these kids."

Is it fair to say he is the comedic element of show?
"Yeah, he definitely has a lot of humour because he's outspoken and a bit of an outsider in this Beverly Hills world. He calls it as he sees it. While everyone else is playing the Beverly Hills game, he's like 'what the hell are you talking about?'"

How do you think the British audience will take to 90210?
"Gosh, I don't know. I think it's going to do well because it's about Beverly Hills, which is something fun to the UK. Just like a show about London would do well here, because it's not something we have. But it could go the other way, they could be like 'who cares about Beverly Hills?'"

Recently there's been talk of a Melrose Place revival. What are your thoughts on that?
"I have two thoughts. My first is that it's extremely depressing that there's no original content to be made. Hollywood seems to be out of ideas and just taking old things that have worked and redoing them. I know there's writers out there with new material, so it just seems lazy to take old shows that have worked and do them again. But then again it's a business, so I get it from that standpoint. You know, any remake is a new show - because every cop show has the same premise, and every teen drama has the same sort of premise. So I have mixed feelings about Melrose."

That said then, which other shows do you think could be revived? Saved By The Bell, maybe?
"If they did Saved By The Bell again, I would be very excited. But then again, as a true fan of the original, I would be very skeptical. I'd be very wary of a remake doing something I had loved. I don't think it could ever be the original."

i enjoyed the second episode, getting a more in depth knowledge about the characters.

just a question though i didnt watch the original BH who is kelly's son dad? do the people who watched the original beverly hills know this or is this something that is still to come out in the show since the name has never been mentioned?

Yeah I like it its starting to grow on me now :)

so dixon obviously came from an alcoholic background. i can see a bond forming between him and silver. And im soo wanting ethan and annie to get together

Yeah me too! :D its sooo gonna happen though :p

Kelly and Brenda have returned and Donna is returning.

Rumours are also suggesting a return for Luke Perry aka Dylan McKay

Spoiler:

well he is Kelly's son dad so his return would be beliveable

im just catching up eith the latest episode of 90210 tonight, I didnt watch BH90210 but just a guess there is a history between brenda and dylan. oh wish i knew more

Thats what im like, at times I find it hard to follow

i've not seen any of this, not my cup of tea, but the main girl is in Nip Tuck as Eden haha!

im enjoying it, and it is about the younger ones kelly and brenda are just a small part of it, and the details they do give you make it easy to put 2 and 2 together

yeah I do enjoy it, its getting better

I do think there is more to the story about Brenda and Dylan than what Brenda claimed, cause she looked sad when she deleted his number.

It is obvious something is gonna happen with Brenda and Ryan

I have to say, Im really getting into this now

Some of the storylines are quite interesting

im liking it, wonder how adriana is.

Poor naomi she is in a mess at the minute.

like how the principal (cant remember his name) has brought an under cover student in as a drug spy

I know I was shocked at that

How old is she?

Phil Collins's daughter has reportedly been cast in two upcoming episodes of The CW's 90210.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lily Collins will play a West Beverly student called Phoebe, who is the arch-rival of Annie Wilson (Shenae Grimes).

The 20-year-old will appear in the season's penultimate and final episodes, which are scheduled to air in May.

Collins is currently a student at the University of Southern California and works as a presenter for Nickelodeon.

Thats ages away and wont it be May for those in america not us

loved the arrival of the harry/tracy's son, what a great impression he would have gotten from his 2 half sisters lol they were basically screaming at each other,

90210 is DEFFO getting better - last nights episode was amazing :cheer:
Love Annie and Ethan :wub: And Sean the son :wub:!!!

yeah what an introduction to the family lol

Its getting sooooo good, love the storylines lately

adrianna and navid make a sweet couple

I know I love them!


I cant believe how old the actor is who plays him though!

90210 star Dustin Milligan is moving to a new postcode after getting dumped as a regular on the hit show.

Milligan, who plays popular character Ethan in the Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off will not be among the show regulars when the series returns this autumn, according to Entertainment Weekly magazine.

Representatives for the show are refusing to comment, but a 90210 insider has confirmed that Milligan's contract option is not being picked up for the new season.

Dustin Milligan will not be returning to 90210 for the second season, reports Entertainment Weekly.

The actor's contract is not being picked up, but the door will apparently be left open for him to appear at a later date to wrap up Ethan's story.

Executive producer Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair said of season two: "If Gossip Girl is about youth in New York, I want to [make 90210] about youth in L.A. and Beverly Hills."

She added: "The show tried to be a lot of things to a lot of people in its first season. I think the centre lies with the generation of kids that are in high school now. I'm not interested in casting people for stunt value."

Milligan's co-star Matt Lanter, who plays bad boy Liam, has recently been promoted to a series regular.

WHAT - i love Ethan - sad times :(
And WHO is liam?!

oh you just knew sean was a bad guy did u? shame though he was cute,
